2022-12-23 M42 Orion Nebula

Another attempt just like yesterday, but with another lens.

Even though the exposure time is 1/3 of what I did yesterday, this lens' focal length produces much more detail in the nebula structure, though with the same fringing.

I think the 300mm focal length is better suited than the previous 135mm for this target. The Great Orion Nebula is so strong that the 1/1s shutter speed is not a huge barrier.
